Abstract |
Crimean text as a subject of study considering the growing interest in overtext as such is an important literary issue. According to V. Toporov, the principle of the sacrality, the allocation of deeper, supra-empirical essences, the search of the “superdense reality” kernel lies at the the basis of allocation of local text. The cycle “Cimmerian Twilight” by M. Voloshin traces basic constants of “Cimmerian myth”. Geological time, its compressed layers, erode by rains, becomes the image of “superdense reality” for Voloshin. The myth of Demeter, the great mother, Persefone, wife of Hades, and Hercules, whose arrows were imbued with deadly Lernaean Hydra `s bile acts as the narrative and symbolic center of the “Cimmerian Twilight” cycle. Voloshin populates the Koktebel `s “desert of time” with heroes of the ancient “myth of creation”. The images of “old gold”, the gold Cup, donated by the Helios to Hercules — perform the role of a metaphorical link of the myth of creation with a daily mystery of light, stone, water and plant life of the nature of the Eastern Crimea. |
